Honda, a pioneer in creating bold and eye catching cars rolled out its Brio (bree-oo) few weeks ago which is a small compact car with engine churning out 88ps of max power. In context, the Hyundai, creator of innovative technologies placed a mini hatchback, Eon. It gets a smaller engine producing only 56ps of power which is relatively less as compared to that of Brio. So, both the cars will be representing a different segment in the same hatchback form.
Honda Brio is the smallest car from the brand and is also the cheapest model from house. The exteriors are completely fresh and are targeted to attract youth. The front grille is small and bold, rear lid is more of a glass rather than being half metal and half glass and complete the shape is aerodynamic which is slanted upwards from front window to the rear. The interiors don’t attract much and are just simple plastic being arranged as what the normal cars do. The dashboard design could have been better as the things don’t look like seamless. Brio is powered with a 1.2L iVTEC engine pumping out 88ps of power. Brio returns about 18km per litre through its advanced designed engine. Power steering, air conditioning, central locking is standard in all. A new feature is introduced which tells the fuel consumption of car.
